Hocking Hills State Park Campground

Coming here before April 1 (half the campground is still winterized) is great! Low crowds and a great location! Lots of available hikes. Even this time of year, the shower house is open and working. Potable water is available to bring back to your site. And if you are an Ohio resident 60 yrs old or older, get your Golden Buckeye card for a 50% savings on Ohio campgrounds.

Awesome campground for families and friends. Quiet and clean.

Autumn is the best time to experience this Park. Less crowded than summer. 5 million visitors last year. More than Yellowstone. Guided hike was the best.

This is a great place to visit and camp. I am a tent camper so I was in the non electric site. The hiking is fantastic. Rose lake is also a wonderful lake and quite beautiful. Will always come back

Beautiful area with great hikes and views close by. None accessible directly from our camp which was in the walk in section, separate from the regular camp ground. This area does not have many of the amenities that the other site does, just vault toilets. The walk in can be up to .3 miles so I highly recommend some sort of cart for your gear.

Excellent location for hiking hocking hills area. Bath houses could really use updating, showers were 50/10 pressure going 200 directions. The only bath house with laundry is the one by the pool. Our site looked much larger in photos but we made it work, although it was pretty steep.

This was our first tent camping experience and over all went really well! Our particular site wasn’t very tent friendly and was overall a little awkward with the placement of hills and our fire pit, but I think that was a one off. We made it work and had a great time! The sites are close together so be aware if you aren’t fond of neighbors :) we will definitely be back!

It was a wet Veteran Memorial weekend. We were at site 80 not too far from the shower house.

The site was on the end but the fire ring is on the backside of your camper. A nice spot for non rainy days as the fire ring was full of water.

The shower house was pretty clean, flush toilets and warm. There is also a too with a washer and dryer.

Plan to take a hike if you can and go early to beat the crowds. We were dropped off at Ash Cave and hiked back to the campground- about 5 miles. Plan for steps and hills and a lot of beauty to see (even in the rain).

The road up the campground is very curvy - take your time and you’ll be fine. The rest of the campground was not too busy but know that a lot of the sites are close together, some pads are short and you may not have a lot of green space.

We came in October for a few days and it was so beautiful one of our favorite state parks we have ever been to! Our site was a little angled but views made up for it!

The site was angled so we had to turn around before we could back in/park - our 5th wheel is 43’ and it was tight even with all spots not full. The pad was level and full hook ups but the site was small and the fire pit was RIGHT next to the camper. Beautiful wooded view behind us.

There was also quite a bit of mud at the front of campsite which we used fallen leaves to cover but there should be material added there.

Walking distance to all state park trails which was great! Bathhouse was warm and clean.

I stayed at a standard electric site with my truck and 19’ travel trailer. It was November so the pool was closed and a large portion of the campground was closed. The site was sloped but the parking pad was flat. Some of the sites were pretty close together but it was all pretty standard for an Ohio state park. The best part is that there are several trails leading out of the campground directly to Old Man’s Cave and the visitor center so there is no need to drive to get to the most popular camping sites. I did not use the dump station, showers, but I did fill up a few gallons of potable water. Overall I was pleased with my short weekend visit.

Park and facilities were clean shower houses and restrooms were clean an well maintained the sites were. Very close some were level most were sloped on one or two directions. Big rig friendly. No WiFi poor cell service so if that’s a concern your outta luck. Trails are Awesome had a very nice Visitors Center. Store has. Gius selection of daily camping supplies looked at a few things state park Mugs walking sticks. T shirts. Extremely Over priced. “Typical state park crap “ no water in any sites need to fill up water tanks before or at the gate. Plenty of water available through out the camp ground. Along with gray water dump stations. 35.00 a night handicap accessible sites. A gun. Very clean and well maintained

Spectacular facilities, all very clean. The pool is better than most hotels. Easy access to all of the Hocking Hills activities.

Hocking Hills is an awesome place to see the power of water. Lush and interesting yet not too difficult for 70 and 77 year old campers. The ranger at the check in told us to get an early start. Wow! Was she right. When we came out the parking lot was packed. We weren’t alone but we were able to get some nice shots with just a bit of waiting for people to move along.

We stayed in a Sherman cabin; it included two sets of bunk beds, a mini fridge, microwave and a/c. The pool was clean (tho' unheated) and showerhouses well-maintained. We were glad we stayed in the cabin because it rained heavily while we were there and many sites had standing water. The tent section is very hilly and you may need to be creative with your set-up. We loved the close location to fantastic hiking trails. Take your kids to the pencil sharpener museum while visiting Hocking Hills; it won't take long (it's only one room) and you can gather info at the visitors center next door while you're there.

Very solid campgrounds but very close to each other. Clean bathrooms and showers. I didn’t have Verizon service.

Hocking Hills State Park is a wonderful place to visit. The trails, waterfalls, and caves are beautiful. The State Park staff are friendly and helpful. The museum was well worth a visit. We had site 170, which was paved.  It had electricity, which was fine. Minor issues are that the site was narrow and uneven, and the bathroom in that loop needs attention. Luckily, our little camper has a bathroom, but the tent folks around us were disappointed. The dump station was good and the larger bathroom/shower facility by the pool was probably better. In any case, all these minor things are more than made up for by the other great things the park has to offer. We would definitely stay there again.

Campground is beautiful. The trails lead to stunning views of cliffs and waterfalls. We are in site 124, a 30 amp electrical site with no water. It was challenging to get into with our 35 foot fifth wheel due to the narrow road and narrow site pad.

Reservations only, most sites are level and spacious. There is a general store on site with firewood, propane, food items, gifts, camping gear, (hitch pins even, I lost mine). There is a swimming pool and even an outdoor theater. Clean bathrooms and heated showers. 

Ironically, we stayed at the worst campsite there, it was downslope, and they had recently cut down many trees and the site was a muddy mess. Every single other campsite (and we drove the whole thing) they were perfect, so I will not let that affect my review, though I do wish they would have noted the listing.

Good time, Met some other nucamp owners had a good time around the fire, We had some issues with someone else using our spot when we arrived tried to call the park office to get a resolution with no result. had to use another open spot.

We stayed at Hocking Hills State Park and absolutely loved it the sites are on the smaller side but it makes up for that in so many ways nice bath houses great playground nice pool for the summer time and you are right by old man’s cave and all the other amazing trails

The lord are small and have no wooded areas. Be dry close to the road.

Been coming here on and off for the last 15 years and it's always a great time. This time I was in spot 128 for our Hiker Trailer campout. Pad was even but firepit and table were down a hill. Great shade and hammock options. Spent several hours swinging and watching campers come and go. Showers were plenty hot and clean. Camp hosts were awesome and on top of things.

We were at the site at the top of the drive directly on your left. We had a lot of green space but our neighbors were right next to us, not really any privacy. We were happy to have the grass to walk our dogs and it let us watch everyone coming and going. The pad had a pretty bad hole so you need to maneuver you camper carefully if needed. We were just a short walk to the shower house and a little further to a playground. We got up early to hike the gorge, beat the crowds and the heat. It was early but it was worth it.

Nice campground with big pool. Small camp store. Awesome trails.

Amazing trails walkable right from the campground. Old mans cave, upper & lower falls. Bathroom was clean. Showers were ok. My site 108 was not deep, but was wide. Great for my 5X9 travel trailer, but probably not good for a big rig. Shaded & right near the shower house was a plus.

We enjoyed a full hookup site. The spots aren’t very spacious but there’s lots of trees nearby and an easy walk to get to Old Mans Cave. We enjoyed swimming in the pool. There’s outhouses with no running water but also a relatively new bath house with nice showers and toilets.

We visited during the off season, November. It was fairly empty, which was nice. The biggest, and really only complaint, is that the sites were pretty un-level for being paved. The bathhouse was very nice... and I think the floors may have been heated?

We stayed at a full hookup site, which is unusual for us, but the facilities were great.

The road into the campground was steep and winding. We almost saw a van towing a large trailer tip. It was a bit scary. Make sure you watch your turns on the way in.

The best part was the location!!!! The entrance was right next to the entrance to Old Man's cave, which was epic.

Also, there was a small area to the east that had an interpretive trail that ended with a large cage with some birds of prey, it was pretty great.
